This pair of urns is an outstanding example of the revival of the Louis XV style in the 19th century, a period in which the European aristocracy and high bourgeoisie sought to revive the rococo splendor of the 18th century. The design features the characteristic sinuous lines, exuberant floral motifs and asymmetrical decoration that define the style, emphasizing the elegance and movement that make it recognizable.

The urns are crafted from high quality gilt bronze, worked with precision craftsmanship to highlight every ornamental detail, from the floral garlands to the putti figures that crown the pieces.

In the 19th century, the Louis XV style was given a new lease of life thanks to the historical revival and eclecticism of the period, when both traditional craftsmanship and decorative luxury were valued. These urns were designed for spaces of great prestige, combining decorative functionality and an artistic value that today makes them coveted pieces by collectors and antique experts.
Their excellent state of preservation, material quality and fidelity to the original rococo style make this pair a set of great ornamental value.
